Serie A Title Race Heats Up as Inter Leads After Dramatic Weekend

October 20, 2025 – The Serie A title race intensified over the weekend, with Inter Milan claiming the top spot following a thrilling round of matches. After seven games, Inter secured a 1-0 victory over Roma, thanks to a decisive 68th-minute goal by Ange-Yoan Bonny, propelling them to 16 points. The win marked a significant moment as Giovanni Simeone’s strike for Torino handed Napoli their first defeat of the season, a 1-0 loss that dropped the defending champions to a tie for second place with Roma, both on 15 points.

The standings remain razor-thin, with AC Milan overtaking the lead on Sunday with 16 points after defeating Udinese, while Juventus languishes in fifth with 12 points. This tight competition echoes last season’s dramatic finish, where Inter clinched the title by a single point over Milan. Analysts highlight Serie A’s resurgence, with Opta data indicating the smallest point gaps among Europe’s top leagues after 10 matches in recent years.

Upcoming fixtures, including Juventus at Como and Napoli’s clash with Lecce, promise further twists. As the season progresses, the battle for supremacy in Italy’s premier football league is shaping up to be one of the most competitive in decades.
